I dont understand why you put all this work into a car to restore it, and you go and paint over the plastics that are supposed to remain black... Nice color choice though, looks good besides the moldings.

Ive got a back room filled with extra parts that came with the shell. We bought the shell from a friend, and it included all interior plastics plus extras, Floor mats that look brand new, Weve even got an uncracked climate control that we havent gotten in there yet. Ive also got sitting but have been to lazy to wrench on it, the hasport AC bracket, the compressor, and some other odds and ends for it to get the AC working.

There's always a slight divide between the modders and the restorers....and there's every shade in between. I think this looks great, looks almost oem just with that slight difference that makes it stick out (which I'm cool with)

Lot better since I've got work done. New tint. Removed the windshield decal. The rims really need reclearing though... ball joints next on the list, already got brand new seals all around, not leaking or burning any oil now.

So ball joints, driver door handle, recleared rims and some small paint touchups and its back to stock. Oh and fucking corner lights. Jesus. Stupid ass black ones.

edit: show your dad 90/91 style crx tails. I prefer them. Some people don't but it's a super cheap upgrade... Like eyeliner for your tails :D

Looks great. I'm an older guy, 41, who also loves playing around with my CRX. I'm beginning to consider putting a B18C in mine, from my original plan of putting a ZC d series in. The b18c would cost a whole lot more up front but I think, with that engine, I won't likely incur more cost later because I need more power. His is the ITR B18, correct? I'm trying to weigh the differences/advantages between the ITR vs the GSR engine myself. How does he like it? Mine is my DD and, even commuting 150 miles a day, I love it. I think the b18c would really bring it alive but still be very daily driver friendly.

Yep, the motor in this car is a full B18C Integra Type R swap. Its quick on its own, with the short geared trans, but we spray a 75 shot on it when its doing work. The only thing about the long commute is even putting this car into 5th, if your cruising 65-75 mph the RPMs are up there. Driving this car balls to the wall is like driving a go kart, its light, more nimble than you would imagine on the D2 coils, and is generally a very peppy car all around.

I worry about that 4k rpm at 70 since most of my commute is at that or above. My alternative may be an LS b18 with LS trans. Not as much fun but maybe better as a DD. Or I could swap an LS 5th gear in place of the ITR/GSR 5th.

Very nice. My dad also used to hate imports and now has a b swapped eg sedan. Once he drove my honda he said it was faster and handled better than the nova he built as a young man. Ever since then he has been hooked.
